I'm looking for the drastic differences in their coats before and after spaying or neutering. I used to have a bunch saved, but recently deleted a whole bunch of pictures and must have accidentally taken those with them.

Interesting! Maya wasn't spayed until she was four, her coat didn't change at all afterwards. She always had a very thick full coat though.

Angel was spayed at four months just before we got her. I thought she was going to be more field coated as hers was very thin but as she grew up it really filled out and got thicker, not quite as thick as Maya's though.

Lottie's puppies who were spayed/neutered look like Penny does now with the large woolly coat. Next time I get a chance, I'll try to take a pic of my Ada who has not been spayed with her sister from the same litter who was spayed and post here. Big difference!

Yes. I found this out with my rescue Cocker, Casper. His coat has changed a lot from what it was like before he was neutered. I was very surprised, too! Oh well! I'll just have to deal with it even though it means I am going to have to learn how to groom him myself in order to save on all the groomer's fees! Therefore, I just ordered Jim's Cocker Spaniel grooming DVD. I am going to order a groomer's table as well as clippers. I am currently checking out the recommendations here and I will make a decision soon. I wound up shelling out nearly $100.00 in groomer's fees yesterday! YIKES!

If you still need more pictures I can scan some old pics of Mocha. Not only did her coat change after her spay (she was 2), she lost her tan markings on her face and legs. By the time she was 3 nobody would have guessed she was black and tan except for the tan under her tail! Hannah also lost most of the tan markings on her legs after her spay, and her markings are not as obvious on her face, but are still there.

Wow, that's really high! V.I.P. pet resort in Port Orange only charges $32.00 Ask for Carrie to do the groom- she does a nice cocker cut.
